Top 6 colour combinations you can try with Dual paint

Getting your home painted is not a simple task; it is something that needs quite a bit of planning, and you are also required to take a call on things like colour combinations and type of paint.

Among all the options available these days, one paint-type that has caught the attention of people are ‘Dual Paints’.

Dual paint is essentially an emulsion that can be used for both interior and exterior walls of your home. The advantages of using dual paints are many; to begin with, there is an obvious cost benefit of using the same paint for interior and exterior walls, and apart from this, there is more synergy between home interiors and the external appearance of your home. There are many Dual paint companies which offer an extensive range of Dual paints in India. Brands like Kamdhenu offer a sizable range which gives people enough options to choose from.

The tricky part when it comes to dual paints is choosing colour combinations. Since the same paint has to be used for both interior and exterior walls, choosing colours that bring harmony to the overall aesthetics of your home can be challenging.

Most paint brands offer an extensive palate to choose from, but so many options also make it harder to find the right colour combination. And, to help you with this, we have come up with a list of colour combinations that you can try with dual paints.

Tips to choose colour combinations

Reflect your personal style

When the time comes to choose paint colours for your home, the first thing you should keep in mind is your own style and preferences. An interior designer can help you put all the pieces together, but, at the end of the day, your personal style should not get lost in someone else’s vision.

Use a colour wheel

If you are having trouble choosing colour combinations for the interior and exterior walls of your home, a colour wheel can help you identify the right ones. Colour wheels help you in understanding the relationship between different colours and allow you to create combinations which are coherent.

Use your interior design as a reference

While painting the interior walls of your home, you can take the inspiration from the dominating features of your home interiors. For example, if you have enough natural lighting in your home, you should use combinations of light colours like white, blue and light grey.

Use contrasts

Using combinations of contrasting colours is also an interesting way of giving your home interiors some character. While choosing contrasting colours, you should be careful that the combination does not make your home look odd.
